Genius Home Studio

is a music creation

& education program

Description +

Genius Home Studio is a multi-part program virtually pairing aspiring and established artists like Mike WILL Made-It, Offset and DviousMindz to create and collaborate on original songs. The program is powered by a web based DAW that lets users make beats from home, or download the custom beat pack to use on software of their choice. For those just starting out the site takes users on a step by step process in song creation.

We were asked by Genius to create the brand identity, DAW interface and web design. We worked closely with their engineering and content team on implementation.

As Covid-19 stalled live events and concerts dried up, Genius was seeking alternative ways to connect artists to their audience. They approached us to develop the brand identity and product design for a new event platform called Genius Live. Working as an extension of their team we helped conceptualize new ways for viewers and artists to interact. We worked with Genius' engineering team to bring the vision to life. The digital event series featured performances by Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, and more, garnering 80k average total viewers per show.

Genius Verified is a song’s lyrics and meaning, straight from the artist. We developed the series visual identity and motion graphic package. Our goal was to create a system that reflected the annotated song lyrics from genius.com. Verified has become one of the essential stops for up and coming and established artist's alike. The yellow background and graphic treatment has been emulated across the web with snippets popping up across mainstream media.

Genius partnered with Acura for Precision Crafted Performances, a series of live showcases spotlighting emerging artists for tastemakers, influencers, and the music cognoscenti.

The campaign and event visual system is built around a series of evolving shapes that reference early scientific sound visualizations, created by vibrating sand at different frequencies. The resulting shapes are striking and have the energy that the artists in this series embody.
